CD36 in the periphery and brain synergizes in stroke injury in hyperlipidemia.

ABSTRACT: Hyperlipidemia exacerbates ischemic stroke outcome and increases CD36 expression in the postischemic brain as well as in peripheral monocytes/macrophages. By exchanging bone marrow-derived cells between CD36-expressing and CD36-deficient mice, this study investigates the contribution of peripheral CD36 in comparison with that of brain CD36 to stroke pathology in hyperlipidemia.Following bone marrow transplantation, mice were fed a high-fat diet for 11 weeks and then subjected to ischemic stroke. Stroke outcome, expression of brain CD36, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), CCR2, and plasma MCP-1 levels were determined at 3 days postischemia. CD36 and CCR2 expression were also determined in splenocytes incubated with serum obtained from CD36-expressing or CD36-deficient mice.Infiltrating immune cells from the periphery are the major source of CD36 in the postischemic brain and contribute to stroke-induced brain injury. This CD36 effect was dependent on the modulation of MCP-1 and CCR2 expression in peripheral immune cells as well as CD36-expressing cells in the host brain.This study demonstrates that CD36 expressed in the periphery and brain synergize in ischemic brain injury through regulation of the MCP-1/CCR2 chemokine axis in hyperlipidemic conditions.

Project description:AimsGastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, as a common peripheral-organ complication after traumatic brain injury (TBI), is primarily characterized by gut inflammation and damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier (IMB). Previous studies have confirmed that TongQiao HuoXue Decoction (TQHXD) has strong anti-inflammatory properties and protects against gut injury. However, few have reported on the therapeutic effects of TQHXD in a TBI-induced GI dysfunction model. We aimed to explore the effects of TQHXD on TBI-induced GI dysfunction and the underlying mechanism thereof.MethodsWe assessed the protective effects and possible mechanism of TQHXD in treating TBI-induced GI dysfunction via gene engineering, histological staining, immunofluorescence (IF), 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing, real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blot (WB), and flow cytometry (FCM).ResultsTQHXD administration ameliorated TBI-induced GI dysfunction by modulating the abundance and structure of bacteria; reconstructing the destroyed epithelial and chemical barriers of the IMB; and improving M1/M2 macrophage, T-regulatory cell (Treg)/T helper 1 cell (Th1 ), as well as Th17 /Treg ratios to preserve homeostasis of the intestinal immune barrier. Notably, Cluster of Differentiation 36 (CD36)/15-lipoxygenase (15-LO)/nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) signaling was markedly stimulated in colonic tissue of TQHXD-treated mice. However, insufficiency of both CD36 and (C-X3-C motif) chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) worsened GI dysfunction induced by TBI, which could not be rescued by TQHXD.ConclusionTQHXD exerted therapeutic effects on TBI-induced GI dysfunction by regulating the intestinal biological, chemical, epithelial, and immune barriers of the IMB, and this effect resulted from the stimulation of CD36/NR4A1/15-LO signaling; however, it could not do so when CX3CR1 and CD36 were deficient. TQHXD might therefore be a potential drug candidate for treating TBI-induced GI dysfunction.

Project description:Background and purposeDysfunction of the endolysosomal system can cause cell death. A key molecule for controlling the endolysosomal trafficking activities is the N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) ATPase. This study investigates the cascades of NSF ATPase inactivation events, endolysosomal damage, cathepsin release, and neuronal death after focal brain ischemia.MethodsA total of 62 rats were used in this study. They were subjected to sham surgery or 2 h of focal brain ischemia followed by 1, 4, and 24 h of reperfusion. Confocal microscopy and Western blot analysis were utilized to analyze the levels, redistribution, and co-localization of key proteins of the Golgi apparatus, late endosomes, endolysosomes, and lysosomes. Light and electron microscopy were used to examine the histopathology, protein aggregation, and endolysosomal ultrastructures.ResultsTwo hours of focal brain ischemia in rats led to acute neuronal death at the striatal core in 4 h and a slower type of neuronal death in the neocortical area during 1-24 h reperfusion periods. Confocal microscopy showed that NSF immunoreactivity was irreversibly and selectively depleted from most, if not all, post-ischemic penumbral neurons. Western blot analysis further demonstrated that NSF depletion from brain sections was due to its deposition into dense inactive aggregates that could not be recognized by the NSF antibody. Commitantly, the Golgi apparatus was completely fragmented and cathepsin B (CTSB)-containing endolysosomal structures, as well as p62/SQSTM1- and EEA1-immunopositive structures were massively accumulated in the post-ischemic penumbral neurons. Ultimately, CTSB was released into the cytoplasm and extracellular space, causing stroke brain injury.ConclusionStroke Inactivates NSF, resulting in disruption of the reforming of functional endolysosomal compartments, blockade of the endocytic and autophagic pathways, a large scale of CTSB release into the cytoplasm and extracellular space, and stroke brain injury in the rat model.
